PRIVATE AND URGENT – 419 Email Scam

Filed under: 419 Scams — Tags: , , — admin @ 10:54 am

  • from  “gordonjohn111@aol.in”
  • subject  PRIVATE AND URGENT

Dear Friend,
PRIVATE AND URGENT.
I am Gordon John, I work with Lloyds Bank London UK, I was the account officer to a deceased account, belonging to one of our foreign customers. While he banked with us, we oversaw his accounts and other official obligations as my office demanded being his accounts officer. Unfortunately, he died together with his entire family in the plane crash of 31 October, 1999 on board the Egyptian Airline 990 alongside other passengers.
Since his death, none of his next-of-kin or relations has come forward to lay claims to this money as the heir. We cannot release the fund from his account unless someone applies for claim as the next-of-kin to the deceased as indicated according to the law, Most likely, if there are next of kin, they all get an equal share. If there are (mysteriously) no next of kin (claiming or otherwise), the money goes to the state government.
Having made a very franatic and exhaustive search for any family member that would lay claim to this fund,i met with his lawyer who confirmed he has no surviving relatives,i and the lawyer both agreed to get a trusted person that can stand as next of kin to my late client,so I decided to take my chance with you. I now seek your permission to have you stand as next of kin to the deceased as I have all documentations including his certified Death Certificate that will facilitate your stand as next of kin to him as he had a closing balance of 4,633,543.00 Pounds(Four Million, Six Hundred and Thirty-three Thousand, Five Hundred and Forty-three GBP), here in our bank in London. I also have secured from the probate an order of mandamus to locate any member of deceased family to become beneficiary of this fund.
If this proposal is acceptable by you, please to reply to me as soon as possible so as to enable us commence,i intend to share the funds 50/50 with you.
Please reply to my E-mail.gordonjohnprivatemail@gmail.com
Regards,
Gordon John
Tel:  +44 704 570 8084
Fax:+448704711080
NB: You don’t have to be a blood relative of my client to claim this
inheritance.I have all documents to back you, Please reply so that I can elucidate on how to
proceed.
